[Ancient Court Intrigue + Military Conquest + Borderland Comeback + Male-Oriented Power Fantasy]
A good-for-nothing prince, framed by the crown prince and exiled to the frontier, takes a band of condemned criminals and three thousand border troops and smashes the Northern Di's hundred thousand iron cavalry. Before the court officials can even react, he has already been made a prince in his own right.
Xiao Jing, the seventh prince of Great Zhou, was born to Consort Rong, who had been confined to the Cold Palace. His maternal family, the Shen clan, had fallen into decline, and in court he was dismissed as a “good-for-nothing” who had never even taken riding and archery lessons. Crown Prince Xiao Yi framed him, sending him to the northern frontier for “failing to supervise grain supplies.” The court held secret betting pools, wagering he would be dead within three months. Even the emperor chose to sacrifice his weakest son to calm the court. Xiao Jing bowed and pleaded guilty, banging his forehead until it bled and weeping with snot running down his face. No one noticed the smile at the corner of his mouth. The frontier was no burial ground. It was a game of strategy he had waited twenty years to play.
Xiao Jing had pretended to be sick for twenty years, fooling the Imperial Medical Academy with his pulse and everyone else with his acting. His true trump cards were former members of the Black Hawk Army, mastery of the finest military strategy, and a heart set on revenge that he had been honing since his days in the Cold Palace. The northern garrison had just eight hundred old and infirm soldiers, and fifty thousand Northern Di cavalry were bearing down on them. He drove back the vanguard with fire, drowned seven armies, cut off their supply routes to feed his own troops, and won the great victory at Ghostcry Gorge with three thousand personal guards. He won over Helian Tuye, the Northern Di's fiercest warrior, and formed the “Canglang Auxiliary Cavalry,” transforming himself from a “good-for-nothing prince” into the “Prince of the North.” The court cut off his supplies? He grew his own food. No reinforcements? He fought his own battles. The crown prince sent assassins, served him poisoned soup, and colluded with the Northern Di. Xiao Jing kept track of every offense, waiting for the day he could settle the score.

Thrilling war, very interesting to watch
The story of intrigues and wars is wonderfully written. The Seventh Prince went to the frontier in hiding, and defeated the Beidi cavalry with his remaining soldiers. The twists and turns continued, and everyone in the court was slapped in the face. It was so exciting that it couldn't stop.
A very good-looking good-for-nothing prince, the story is tight and every step is shocking.
